A lot of my "liked" prospects in this mock. The only selection I really do not want is the OT. I would rather give Trg that guy with some length that he is so wanting. I think another plugger in the middle that you got will help spell the nose but I would like to see another DE added with that length component. I keep coming back to Steinkuler as a solid addition that will definitely add to the POA in this defense if he is ever healthy.

And I disagree. The fact of the matter is he has a realistic shot of getting that sort of money, and the Packers would be able to pay him that tag if they are unable to move him. This isn't a Matt Flynn scenario, this is closer to a Corey Williams situation, where his value to other teams is higher than his value to the Packers, but even if they can't trade him, the franchise tag for one more year isn't a horrible deal for the Packers.

I just don't see any of those DL with length that I think will end up being good value/slot. In theory I'd like to see one, I just don't see it happening. this year. Pickett, Raji, Worthy, Neal, Daniels, Wilson, I just don't see much spot for a rookie to break into that._________________

If we let Finley go I'd be fine w/ us grabbing Eifert or Ertz, Jefferson is ok, maybe not worth a 2nd. Love Taylor. Not a fan of Swope. The rest is good depth, and I like that Williams kid at DT.

Even if Finley isn't let go, I don't think resigning him past 2013 is very likely.

This.

Also, I love the Eifert/Ertz acquisition (I'd be totally fine with either one of them) because it would allow us to use a 2 TE set for at least one year with him and Finley. Finley most likely won't be kept beyond next year, so I figure we should get the most out of him while we still can. An Eifert/Ertz-Finley 2 TE set would be unreal.

As for the mock itself, I like it, though I would prefer Gio Bernard, Montee Ball, or Eddie Lacy over Stepan Taylor. I wouldn't want to use a 2nd round pick on a RB, though, which is as far as Lacy will go so either take Montee Ball in the 3rd, Le'Veon Bell in the 4th or, if he drops that far, take a chance on Lattimore in the 5th. Some desperate team will most likely reach for him in the 3rd or 4th, though.

Fist of all I love this mock. Now perhaps i would draft a RB in round 2 becuase htere should be a few good ones still around but Taylor certainly is not a bad pick either. I don't think Finley is gone next year even f they go TE in round 1. If the Packers had better TE's on the roster now then maybe I see your point, but they don't. I am starting to think DE in round 1 if one if one the top ones are still available becuase Worthy may not be ready until mid-season next year, but the best TE in college football is a great pick for this team too.

I don't like any of those RB outside of Bernard and I think he'll be a high to mid 2nd. I don't think any of them have much of anything to offer in the passing game and that is more important than anything else._________________
